in the body, whether good or bad.

37. Take my life and let it be
by:Frances R. Havergal
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of your love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for you
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from you.

38. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every power for you…
Take my will and make it Yours,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Your own,
It shall be Your royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for YOU.
